[QUOTE="BrandoGT, post: 354120, member: 9963"] Well today I was driving my car and I heard some noises coming from what seemed like the engine bay when I was sitting in the car. When I popped the hood to check it out I couldn't hear it at all or find it so I dont think it is the engine bay. might be something rubbing I will address that later Anyways, when I was searching for the noise I looked at where the EGR tube meets the Long tubes header and I saw some exhaust spitting out of the top of the nut where there is the slight gap between the tube and the nut , which means I finally found may damn exhaust leak. oh happy day :banana: :banana: that means no poor sealing at the exhaust gasket The only problem is, I know for a fact that the nut is as tight as it can go because in my past hunts for the exhaust leak I have made sure that was nice and tight along with everything else. My question is, what is a good way to seal that up since the nut will not tighten anymore? I might just put a dab of RTV on there but I am not sure yet because I do not know if the RTV can withstand the heat put out by the headers Does anyone have any better ways to fix this or know of any other substance I can put on to stop it from leaking?
